Subscriber Dan+ 1,915 Posted January 18, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted January 18, 2020 I read "because they don't want to be seen as a club who overpays" or something to that effect. Bit late for that isn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadLinesman 5,938 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I think at some point, you’ve got to try and get back and track by not overpaying. It’s like locking the door after the horse has bolted though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little realising he still looks like a fucking inept moron. Then he’ll announce we’ve signed an exclusive deal for women’s tampons in Myanmar. Cunt.

It’s like locking the door after the horse has bolted though. I agree you shouldn't keep doing it but everyone knows you've got money so nobody is going to sell to you for a bargain. Easy way around it for you is to just buy better players. I was pretty sure Maguire wouldn't fix you. Certainly wasn't ever going to be worth what you paid.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted January 27, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted January 27, 2020 Manchester United have spent weeks trying to negoiate a deal that would see Fernandes move to Old Trafford from Sporting Lisbon. At the start of the month, the deal was expected with the Red Devils confident they could sign him on the cheap. Since then, though, there have been many mixed messages about a possible deal. Even today, that's continued. Portuguese newspaper O Jogo claims that United are on the verge of signing the 25-year-old, bringing the transfer saga to an end. But the Guardian says they're only considering making a new offer, and that one hasn't actually been launched. (Express) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted January 28, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted January 28, 2020 Man Utd reach €55m agreement to sign Bruno Fernandes Manchester United have reached an agreement to sign Sporting C.P. midfielder Bruno Fernandes in a deal worth an initial €55 million (£47m/$60m). Goal can confirm that following a breakthrough in talks between the two clubs on Tuesday, the deal is close to being completed ahead of Friday's transfer deadline. United could pay up to €80m (£68m/$88m) for the Portugal international with a number of additional clauses having been agreed between the two parties. It is understood that €10m of those add-ons should be relatively straightforward to achieve, but the details involved in the final €15m are far less likely to be reached. Talks between United and Sporting had broken down in recent days with the clubs too far apart when it came to a valuation of Fernandes. Sporting had been holding out for €80m, with United only willing to offer an initial €50m, with a further €10.5m in add-ons. Those add-ons included the 25-year-old winning the Ballon d'Or and the Red Devils winning the Premier League, and though it is understood they remain part of the deal, Sporting were unhappy that even with their inclusion the total amount would fall some way short of their valuation. https://www.goal.com/en/news/man-utd-reach-55m-agreement-to-sign-bruno-fernandes/15i39vtgus4pg17jkd7vd0w8e5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,369 Posted January 29, 2020 Administrator Share Posted January 29, 2020 Reckon this could be a very good signing for Utd and go some way to sorting the mediocre squad out.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted January 29, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted January 29, 2020 Barcelona made a late bid to try to hijack Manchester United's move for Sporting Lisbon's Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes, 24. (Mirror) Barcelona had planned to sign Fernandes from Sporting and immediately loan him to Valencia in order to secure a deal for Valencia's 28-year-old Spain striker Rodrigo - but those negotiations are close to collapsing. (ESPN) Alternatively, Barcelona has ended its interest in Rodrigo due to Valencia's asking price.
